Chapter 21: The Broken Temple
The heavy rain in Shaoyang is going to rain for many days.
He Lingjiang and his entourage wanted to hurry, so they naturally set off early in the morning, striving to leave Shaoyang before the road became muddy and difficult to walk.
She had already reminded the Shaoyang County Guard before, and also gave him a method.
At that time, the heavy rain will not stop for many days, and the calculation of the Taiqing Guan Immortal is naturally accurate, and the Taiping Sect's prayer for rain is also deceitful.
At this moment, their plan to win over the hearts of the people will be frustrated, and the people will have a sense of swagger and deception against them.
However, this is not the most important thing after all, the key is the flooding that follows this great drought.
Fortunately, the Shaoyang County Guard had already sent people to dig ditches and build embankments in advance, and also sent people to remind the people to take precautions in advance.
The heavens cannot be turned.
But after all, they learned in advance, instead of waiting for three or five days of heavy rain to fall, and then gradually felt that it was wrong, and then they would prevent it, and it would inevitably be too late.
I only hope that this advance preparation can help them cope with the upcoming floods.
The carriage moved forward in the rain, and the speed was much lowered, and even if they set off early, they had not yet left the territory of Shaoyang.
He Shiren looked at the torrential rain outside the car and frowned secretly: "With such a heavy rain, our carriage should be careful, and don't fall into the mud pit and can't get out later." ”
Shortly after he finished speaking, the carriage slammed and stopped, unable to move.
His heart skipped a beat.
Sure enough, immediately after that, He Zheng came to report: "Seventh lady, Lord Shiro, the wheel is stuck in the mud puddle, you have to come down first, and think of lifting the wheel." ”
He Shiren slapped his mouth: "It really made me right." ”
He Lingjiang glanced at him: "Walking on a rainy day, it is inevitable that this will be the case." What did the fourth uncle do when he filmed himself? This carriage must not have sunk into it because of your crow's mouth. ”
"Whose crow's mouth is it?" He Shishi raised his eyebrows, this is what he said, but if you want to laugh at his crow's mouth, he will not admit it.
"He Lingjiang, you sneaked out last night, I didn't tell you, did I?"
"Okay. The fourth uncle's mouth is very good. He Ling Jiang Yan was insincerely, and then he didn't care about him, lifted his skirt and got out of the carriage.
As soon as I got out of the carriage, I realized how heavy the rain was outside, and even if I was holding an umbrella, the rain was pouring into the umbrella.
Aman hurriedly took another umbrella and placed it in front of her to help her block it.
However, she only got out of the car for a while, and her skirt was soaking wet.
She stood aside with He Shishi, and He Zheng leaned over and worked together to lift the trapped wheel out.
The guard who was driving the carriage whipped his whip, and the carriage went two feet further away from the puddle.
He Zheng invited the two of them to get into the carriage again.
He Shiren looked at the pouring rain and frowned: "Now that I am about to get out of the territory of Shaoyang, if I go further, this rain should not be so heavy." Shall we find a place to rest for the night? ”
He Lingjiang looked through the rain curtain at He Zheng and a few people riding on a horse in a robe, they were riding in the rain, and they were busy carrying the carriage, even if they had a robe, their bodies were already wet.
"Then let's rest for the night, and everyone will change into dry clothes, so as not to feel the cold."
It is already far away from Shaoyang County, and then you can go out of Shaoyang by walking for half a day, and the further you go, the smaller the rain is, and you are not in a hurry at this time.
The carriage braved the rain and drove forward for a long time, and finally saw a ruined temple not far away.
This travel is not so particular.
On weekdays, you can find inns and villages to spend the night, but in such a wild place, it is excellent to meet a ruined temple.
The ruined temple has been abandoned for a long time, surrounded by weeds, broken walls, and a dilapidated scene, showing desolation and desertion in the bleak wind and rain.
Under the corridor of the ruined temple, there are still a few horses tied to them, wagging their tails leisurely.
It seems that before they arrived, there were already people sheltering from the rain.
"Seventh lady, Lord Shiro, my subordinates will go and see the situation first." He Zheng dismounted after saying that, and arrived in front of the broken temple first, pushing open the two crumbling gates.
The moment the door was pushed open, a vigilant voice came from inside at the same time: "Who?" ”
Today, the wind and rain were mixed, and they relaxed for a while, but they did not notice that someone approached the ruined temple.
The temple was a little dim, and when He Zheng heard the sound, he saw that in the corner on the left side of the broken temple, there were four people around the fire.
Hearing the sound of pushing the door, the three people inside stood up suddenly, and their right hands unconsciously rested on their waists, He Zheng slipped away silently, and saw the swords they wore on their waists.
He Zheng's expression remained unchanged, and he said with a smile: "A few Lang Jun, it is inconvenient to travel in the heavy rain today, my master wants to stay here for a night in the rain, I wonder if you can give up a vacant land?" ”
Since they have advanced this broken temple, the later people want to come again, in order to avoid disputes, it is natural to ask.
His eyes were inquiring, but he looked at the man who was in the middle of their protection, sitting upright.
This Lang Jun has a handsome appearance and an elegant temperament, and at first glance he is the one who is the master among several people.
The young man who was sitting upright only smiled warmly when he heard this: "Although we came first, this is not our place, if your master wants to shelter from the rain, he can do it at will." ”
He looked at the broken temple and said, "This broken temple is not a small place, a few of us will stay here, and you can do your own in the rest of the places." ”
"Thank you very much." He Zheng arched his hands and saluted him, and then went out to invite He Lingjiang and the others over.
He Lingjiang arrived at the porch of the broken temple, shook the rain on his skirt, and then walked into the broken temple.
Xu is that this place is really not in front of the village and there is no store in the back, and the broken temple here is gradually abandoned.
At a glance, it is in disrepair, the god has been damaged, and only half of the incomplete body remains, with cobwebs woven on it, and the temple is also declining.
He Zheng and the others found a vacant lot, picked up some waste wood that was not wet by the rain, and set up a fire.
Qiong Zhi took off the mat from the carriage and spread it beside the fire, and then invited He Lingjiang and He Poet to come over: "Lady, Lang Jun, come and bake the fire." ”
In order to avoid revealing their identities, in front of outsiders, Qiongzhi and they have always called He Ling Jiang and He poets as "Niangzi" and "Langjun".
After a heavy rain, the temperature of this spring day has dropped a lot, and now the sky is getting darker, and there is a lot of coldness.
He Lingjiang nodded, and sat down by the fire with He Shishi.
Qingzhu skillfully turned out the naan cake and roasted meat, baked it on the fire, and then distributed it to everyone, and Qiongzhi turned out the tea set and boiled hot tea for several people.
Not long after, the fragrance of tea came from the decaying and ruined temple.
The Lang Jun in the corner of the ruined temple couldn't help but look up at them.
At this glance, I saw a face that was still as white as snow under the firelight.
The man's heart jumped, it was her!
